I was having an online discussion with a friend this week about the correct way of installing the Microsoft SCCM 2012 client on a Xendesktop (MCS) golden image. After doing some research there are conflicting actions with some blogs saying "install it and that's it", whilst others saying you must perform some additional work before closing your image. I was intrigued to find the answer to this debate. So I decided to test this in my Xendesktop lab myself so I decided to install SCCM 2012. To cut a long story short what I did notice was that if you deployed desktops after just installing the client you would start to get issues with "Bad MIF"…

Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 Service Pack 1 Install the vSphere 5.1 client
